I saw you last night (what a SURPRISE!!)

by redfiggywiggy - Leo

I saw you last night.
You looked...UGGGHHHHH. So beautiful (as usual).
I tried (so hard!)
pretending 
to be happyandloudandfunny-
just so you would think that I'm really o.k.
But, I wasn't happy
or L O U D 
or FuNnY...and I couldn't even pretend!!!
I just stood in front of you silently
(while you tried to be sorry and sincere)
and stared. Not at you, but at your car door.
(it needs new upholstery).
And you looked at me and said things like:
  "I'm so sorry I haven't called." and..
  "You look so pretty tonight."
For a moment I think, 
  "Chris, you're compliments aren't sweet right now- just shut up." 
But...like a child I take them in (like candy)
W O R D 
for
W O R D
placing them 
in that section of my being that eversocravesyou.
